At the end of last year, DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) published its Simpler Recycling regulation with the aim of driving consistency and raising England’s performance in recycling across businesses and homes.

These regulations will be coming into force for businesses from 31st March 2025 (31st March 2027 for micro businesses) and for homes from 31st March 2026.
